In our contemporary world there are so many stereotypes. One of them is that children should not be given a lot of free time. Many people think that child’s free time should be used for doing school work. So where is the middle way?
In my personal opinion, we should not be so strict parents and coerce children to do only school work. Children must be given a lot of free time which they need to use for doing other interesting things such as dance, singing, drawing, hockey, etc. Moreover, children are not robots. They need relax, change activity. They need in true childhood. I believe that to deprive a child of childhood is cruelly. Children should remember the happiest moments but not zealous doing school work.
On the other hand, some people claim that the more children will try to do their homework, the greater chance to be one of the best at school and get a key to a successful life.
I strongly disagree with this statement. Our future life does not depend on our good marks at school. It depends on our ability, talent and personal characteristics.
In conclusion, I want to say that I still believe in fact that children should be given happy childhood but not a lot of homework.
